Qianlong: Qing Dynasty?What about my Daqing?

Chapter 234 Nomads will only be able to sing and dance in the future
The mortars that had finally moved up were dealt with by two hundred Ming army musketeers who were crawling and approaching.

The gunners of the two mortars were badly wounded by the whizzing bullets.

And what's more fatal.
A bullet passed through a mortar shell, igniting the black powder inside.

The violent explosion instantly destroyed two mortars.

Although the general cannon of the Qing army can fire shotguns flat, the soldiers of the Ming army shot on their stomachs.

So when the generals of the Qing army bombarded and fired cannonballs.

Most of the shells flew over the heads of the Ming soldiers lying on the ground.

Didn't hit a few at all.

Moreover, this kind of general artillery blasted at the hollow phalanx of the Ming army for a while before.

Now the muzzle is hot, and it is impossible to continue firing if it does not cool down.

And just when General Pao of the Qing Army began to launch with a roar.

The guards of the 7th Dragoon Brigade led by Zhu Daohua in Luo Dingshan had already come to the front line in person.

He is already a little anxious now.

The three trapped battalions, that is 500 people, plus 500 grenadiers, that is 5000 people.

And there is Zhou Jitang, the brigade commander.

If the entire brigade was wiped out in this battle, and brigade commander Zhou Jitang died for the country, that would be really ugly.

In addition, he also saw the progress of the Eight Banners.

The lifespan of the Qing Dynasty can last until the twentieth century, and it really has two brushes.

At least at this point in the late Qianlong period, the system of the Qing court had not completely decayed, and a certain degree of innovation and repair could be carried out. At least the Eight Banners soldiers of the Qing army in this battle today have played the "masterpiece" of these years.

Today's Eight Banners soldiers can be said to be at the forefront of the world in terms of equipment level and tactical capabilities.

Fortunately, this battle was fought.

Otherwise, let the Qing Dynasty go to Central Asia, wouldn't it become "Qing imperialism"?

But it's really amazing!
If the good Qing Dynasty became an imperialist state and brought unbearable pain to the people of Central Asia, the Middle East, and Russia, it would really be a historical pain.

Of course Zhu Daohua must resolutely find a way to bring the Qing Dynasty back from the evil path of imperialism.

At this time, the three generals beside Zhu Daohua all suggested that they immediately join the reserve team to rescue the trapped 3rd Guards Infantry Brigade.

"Your Majesty, let me lead the cuirassier brigade to charge forward!"

Li Sheng, the brigade commander of the cuirassier brigade at the side, said.

Zhu Daohua immediately shook his head.

"No, the artillery of the Qing army is placed in the front, if it is bombarded by the artillery, the loss will be too great."

Although the cuirassiers are powerful, they are not invulnerable gods.

How dare Zhu Daohua let the cuirassiers he spent a lot of money to build charge against the artillery?

The cuirassier is the hammer that makes the final decision at a critical moment.

Not for current use.

"Why don't we send infantry to press up and relieve the siege of the 3rd Guards Brigade?" Wang Dayong said with a frown.

"The speed is too slow. It's going to be dark soon. If the Qing army takes advantage of the darkness to move up the cannons in the dark, Zhou Jitang can't stand it!"

Luo Dingshan said from the side.

"Your Majesty, let me lead the 7th Dragoon Brigade to fight this assault!"

Zhu Daohua was stunned: "Although the 7th Dragoon Brigade has horses, they basically fight on foot. How can they fight against the cavalry of the Qing army? That's [-] cavalry!"

"Why not?" Luo Dingshan laughed, "Your Majesty, you forgot the small rockets equipped by our 7th Dragoon Brigade."

"Horse-mounted small-caliber rocket launcher."

Zhu Daohua pondered.

This is a small-caliber quadruple rocket.

Can be used on horseback.

It has not been put into use much before this, because the infantry still likes to use small-caliber mortars as support firepower, and this kind of flat-firing rocket is not very popular-mainly because it is too heavy.

Not only is the launch tube heavy, but the rocket itself is also heavy.

A rocket needs to be carried by an infantry, so it is better to equip a little more front-line mortars.

However, Luo Dingshan thought that this weapon was very suitable for dealing with the enemy's cavalry, so he asked for a lot from the military supply department.

All the small-caliber rockets produced by the Lantau Arsenal were equipped with the 7th Dragoon Brigade.

Luo Dingshan creatively assembled the launching tubes and tied them to the horse's back.

When launching, you need to turn the horse sideways, and then the rocket can be launched directly on the horseback.

Zhu Daohua murmured in his heart.

Because he doesn't know if anyone in history has used rockets like this.

Use flat, direct-fire rockets against cavalry.

In theory it seems possible.

But it's dusk now.

If the siege is not cleared as soon as possible, when the sky darkens, the Qing army will definitely mobilize artillery from the rear to bombard the hollow phalanx of the 3rd Guards Brigade.

If so.

Zhou Jitang's 5000 men could not last long.

Think here. ,

Zhu Daohua nodded and said, "Then try it first! Luo Dingshan, tell me how to use this rocket!"

Tatata!
The sun was almost setting.

Soldiers of the 7th Dragoon Brigade are at the point of battle.

"Quick! Strap the rocket on!"

Chen Huacheng directed his subordinates to tie those little rockets that didn't seem to have much use to the horses.

A quadruple rocket launcher is placed across the horse's back.

The equipped rocket is shaped like an enlarged tadpole.

The front end is a conical blasting bomb, and the rocket body supported at the back is a circle smaller, just fitting the size of the launch tube.

The launch tube has a trigger like a flintlock, which ignites the rocket through mechanical ignition.

In fact, Luo Dingshan believes that the volume of this rocket is still too large.

It would be best to reduce the size, and it would be best for infantry to carry and launch it on their shoulders.

In this way, the accuracy and flexibility of this direct firepower is far superior to that of mortars, and it is also easier to use. There is no need for special training for gunners. Ordinary soldiers can directly aim like firearms and fire.

soon.

The 7th Dragoon Brigade attacked as a whole.

in the darkness.

A group of dragoons rushed forward on their horses.

on the battlefield.

The cavalry of the Qing army who were in charge of blocking the aid were stunned for a moment.

Send out the dragoons?
What does it mean?
Could it be that the dragon cavalry of the Ming army also planned to fight the cavalry?
And the number of people is so small, only a few thousand riders.

Dare to confront [-] Sauron cavalry?
Doesn't this take seriously the savages and natives who scrambled and killed bears, stabs and tigers in the old forests of the Northeast?

These "savage Jurchens" collected by the Qing court from the Northeast are an important supplement to the Eight Banners of the Qing Dynasty. These savages born in the wild environment have a barbaric physique.

Although they didn't win much against the Ming army.

But in fact, the Sauron cavalry, who were regarded as treasures by the Qing court, thought they were quite awesome.

In particular, they are equipped with cloth armor and are proficient in hand-to-hand combat on horseback.

The mule soldiers of the Ming army were good at shooting black guns, and fighting on foot with dismounted horses.

But now they want to break through tens of thousands of cavalry with a few thousand infantry, which is obviously a bit whimsical.

These Sauron soldiers equipped with cotton armor gun helmets, strong bows and crossbows, and even "grenade hammers" filled with black powder are indeed rare troops in the world that can fight.

Even let them fight the Cossacks of Tsarist Russia.

Maybe they can win.

But unfortunately.

They were not Cossacks.

It is the Ming army that adheres to the firepower principle of "Da Ze bombs Lao Tzu".

Tatata!
The soldiers of the 7th Brigade of Dragoons rode away, not too fast, approaching the [-] Sauron cavalry of the Qing army without any hassle.

Eredenbao, who was in charge of leading the battle, frowned.

What happened to these Ming troops?

If you want to charge without speeding up, if you want to fight on foot without dismounting?
Eredenbao began to feel something was wrong.

Because he knows.

His opponent was under the banner of the 7th Brigade of Dragon Cavalry of the Ming Army.

This is the famous first mule brigade of the Ming army.

Of course, Eredenbao would not think that his opponent today is a fool.

"Form formation, charge! Scatter them!"

Eledenbao gritted his teeth and gave the order.

Now the opponent is close to the distance of four hundred steps.

at this distance.

It can be said that the time for the cavalry to charge directly is up to dozens of breaths.

As long as the speed increases, how can those mule soldiers equipped with rifled guns fight hand-to-hand with Sauron's cavalry?

Just now.

He saw Ming soldiers from the 7th Dragoon Brigade begin to dismount.

It really is going to fight in formation!

But is it too late to form a hollow phalanx to block the cavalry?

next second.

Eredenbao was taken aback.

Because those soldiers of the Ming army simply lined up in a crooked horizontal formation.

Such a horizontal formation, the cavalry will disperse as soon as they charge, right?
conspiracy! !
There must be a conspiracy.

Eredenbao was sweating coldly, and he subconsciously gave the order to retreat.

Just now.

Behind the horizontal formation of the Ming army, there were dozens of horses coming across, and some big bobbins were tied immediately.

what is this?
This thought just came up.

I saw hot white light suddenly burst out from the big tubes in front of me.

That is
Rocket? !
Immediately.

Rockets that were almost parallel to the ground rushed straight towards the Sauron army led by Eredenbao and rushed past Ali.

Eredenbao knew right away that something was wrong.

He immediately reined in his horse and stopped charging. This "Batulu, the No. [-] of the Eight Banners" has a top-notch ability to control horses.

But not everyone is "Batulu No. [-] in the Eight Banners".

The 7th Dragoon Brigade fired a salvo of fifty "horse-borne quadruple rockets" at one time.

This is two hundred rockets!

On the one hand, this thing is quite powerful.

On the other hand, the movement is amazing.

The long tail flame is extremely dazzling.

The rocket hasn't arrived yet.

Many of the Mongolian horses under Sauron's cavalry were running around in fright.

Due to the sudden launch of the rockets, the short distance, and the high speed, these Sauron cavalry didn't even have a chance to dodge!

When the rocket rushed into the cavalry group and exploded.

The violent explosion of yellow gunpowder turned into clusters of fireworks.

The artillery and rocket launches of the Ming army made a lot of noise before, and no matter how bad the Qing army was, they could find some shelters to avoid the shells.

But now, the chaos of tens of thousands of cavalry huddled together, and Eredenbao shouted the order to retreat, and was submerged in successive explosions.

Zhu Daohua, who saw this scene from behind, was dumbfounded.

The war in this era is completely different from what I imagined.

Um.
If this rocket launcher is made smaller, infantry can carry it with them.

The cavalry is almost no threat.

After all, no cavalry group can withstand the frighteningly powerful direct fire that can launch bombardment so quickly.
The time when nomads can sing and dance.

I'm afraid it's coming early
